    a/c question

    12 volts. If you look closely you'll see where the clutch is grounded.

    Clutch Troubles (Was: asdfkljkdsafklasdf)

    I know exactly what it is. The asdfkljkdsafklasdf is busted.

    Things In engine bay that I can get rid of??

    Lmao @ "CSG". I'm gonna use that in the future. Where exactly is that located on the car? Is it near the nut behind the wheel? The one often found loose?

    exhaust flames

    And I don't much care what anyone does with their life, even if they're part of that percentage of intelligent military people who watch cartoons while doing drugs.

    Car shuts off when decellerating

    Loss of the speed sensor effects a lot more than cruise control. The ECU uses it for several things as does the TEMS system and auto tranny ECU if one is installed. I'm not near my reference materials but iirc the speed sensor is one input used to determine when to resume injection after a decel...

    exhaust flames

    The prosecution rests. Kill the messenger all you want. I'm just telling you what the research shows. Your subjective "research" means nothing. Not to say their service should be demeaned because of from where they come but that doesn't change the facts. Oh, and fuck you very much....

    Replaced ISC, Now idles going up and down

    Hell, for those kinds of gaskets a cereal box or similar works just fine. I tend to use beer cartons because I rate automotive work in beers, not time. ISC cleaning and replacement is a two beer job ;)

    Things In engine bay that I can get rid of??

    Beat me too it but absolutely correct. Appears most of these guys have never heard of hydraulic hammer and the damage it can do.

    Lol. Caution: common sense at work ;)

    Removing the jiggle valve from the thermostat?

    Colin: Thanks, didn't know that. Fwiw the OEM cap I bought a few weeks ago is spring loaded. Nomad: Yeah, just like the TSRM says ;)

    exhaust flames

    http://tinyurl.com/3bg7je Tons of kits and info on this, imo the stupidest mod I've ever seen. Google "exhaust flames" As for the military he's right, at least among the lower enlisted ranks these days. Do the research and you'll see.

    Removing the jiggle valve from the thermostat?

    Yeah, kind of how I feel. Better to do it than not. There shouldn't be any air in the system but if some gets in there I want it to find an easy path out. A bit more relatively useless knowledge: The vacuum valve in radiator caps comes in two flavors. One is spring loaded closed while the...

    Removing the jiggle valve from the thermostat?

    Why do I cut it off? I dunno really, other than it's an old habit from dealing with cars where they hung up or the hole needed to be opened up for one reason or another ie; no bypass path in the system. Never had it happen on a Supra though. Ran jiggle valves for years on mine without a problem...

    Lol. I hope he does that. I need the entertainment ;)

    Removing the jiggle valve from the thermostat?

    It's to let air bubbles that can collect behind the thermostat pass when the thermostat is closed. On Supras I don't drill it out but I often cut it off. Course, unless it's mounted at 12 o'clock none of that does any good.

    failed emissions....damn...

    Pretty close. The trick is getting the same amount that went into the air filter to come out of the tailpipe ;) He could be lean or he could be hot. As you said O2 would be nice to know but based on those numbers he seems to be in fuel control. I'm guessing slight leanness or a funky EGR but...

    Stupid question on Fuel tank capacity.

    I think AZ carries it. Pepboys does for sure. It's not that hard to come by. Gumout Regane (the yellow stuff in the clear bottle) also contain PEA. Understand I'm not guaranteeing this will work but at least it'll clean up the injectors and valves. Make the engine idle smoother too. Expect an...

    Code 11 help.

    You pulled a code 11 from your friend's GST or is that just non sequitur? Where does the click come from? The pax foot well or the starter? Code 11 is power loss to the ECU. Bad connection somewhere. EFI fuse, main relay, ignition switch, bad wiring, ect.

    coolant/antifreeze brand question

    Looks to be straight PG like the Evans stuff except this you cut with water. That makes it no different than the low-tox PG coolant you can buy at auto stores. In either case PG isn't as good as EG at heat transfer, especially pure PG like Evans, although it'll let you run a zero pressure...
